Wow! We have 250 “guests” for the September 27 Kaleidoscope Cultural Arts Festival and more than 4,000 invitations sent out! Thanks for everyone’s support! And don’t forget to keep inviting your friends, via the event invite, share the status, tell your friends and try to bring out as many people as possible. We want to make sure have a great crowd so these artists keep wanting to come back again and again!

You might have missed Yard Art Day which was on Monday/Labor Day and had residents all over the Charlotte area putting art in their front yard in effort to celebrate the arts and spark conversations in communities.

Kaleidoscope Cultural Arts Festival returns to downtown Kannapolis, N.C. from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 31. The festival is free to attend and free to set up as an artist if you register at mknox@modernfilmzine.com

Cabarrus County artists and musicians please e-mail me at mknox@modernfilmzine.com about the Independent Tribune letting me start up a series of “mini” profiles. Get in touch with me so I can send you a list of questions for you to fill out with some images of your work. We plan to start running these with our Entertainment Calendar which will be launching soon. This is focused on Cabarrus County artists and musicians for right now, just to give a heads up. It’s also open to anyone living in the Rowan County portion of Kannapolis. Take care and thanks! Mike
